[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8966396, member: 7026594"] Overall I mildly agree, but especially once they got out West, it felt much more realistic to me for them not to see any infected for long periods, except in towns or cities. In real life the US and the world are big, and people, despite our billions, occupy a tiny fraction of its total surface area, outside of urban areas. IME more zombie media errs in the other direction, putting zombies everywhere. There's an absurd bit in the World War Z book, the chapter about the submarine crew, where as I recall they talk about having zombies on the hull every time they surface. Which I couldn't help laughing aloud over. Yeah. Based on what we see in the show, the odds of them actually having a cure/vaccine at hand seem extremely remote. They've JUST gotten their hands on her, and they're going straight to lethal brain surgery? They're not starting with blood cultures? With her liver? With stem cells? They're going to jump straight to a procedure which will kill the only person known to be immune? And all the voice actors did great jobs. Very cool part of this show. The actress who plays Ellie in the game crushes her role as Ellie's mom. Marlene is perfect, IMO. Joel's game actor does a great job in his episode, too. Yup. Killing the doctor (doctors, because it happens multiple times in the show) is really extreme. And based on that recording in the game, Joel's actions are much more damning than they are based on what's presented in the show. How long do they actually have Ellie for in the game? Have they already had weeks to run tests on her and try other things? It sounds like they have her longer, at least, with the blood cultures, MRI, etc. [/QUOTE]
